Basic Warehouse Inbound Processing from Supplier (1FS)
In this process, differently packed goods received from suppliers are put away to final storage bins in the warehouse. For example, full pallets go to the high rack narrow aisle while cartons or pieces of the product would go to the mezzanine. Large parts are routed to the Bulk Storage. During putaway, you might use a handover point due to the physical constraints of the high rack narrow aisle, where only a specialized high-level truck can reach all levels. The destination storage type for putaway is partially determined by the product’s Putaway Control Indicator (PACI). If a product is missing the PACI or there is insufficient space in the storage type, it is moved to a clarification zone. You get full RF/mobile device support throughout the process.
